| Course Objectives | Excessive dependence on imports and climate change issues accelerated by the fossil fuel dominance of energy systems make it increasingly necessary for countries to turn to domestic and renewable energy resources. This situation is even more important for our country. The fact that our country has a great potential in terms of renewable resources also provides some advantages in the accession negotiations with the EU. The fact that our university is located in one of the most important regions of our country in terms of renewable energy resources potential increases the importance of this course in the program. Within the scope of the course, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydrogen, biomass, geothermal, water and wave energy technologies will be examined in detail. In addition to these, hybrid applications and integrated energy storage structures will be exemplified and the importance of using renewable technologies in microgrid applications in terms of energy supply security will be explained. Renewable energy in EU energy directives, EU and US case studies, developing country practices, Turkish legislation and practices, green economy, the future of renewable energy, carbon markets are among the topics to be covered in the course. With this course, students will meet the need for trained experts in the renewable energy sector, which is developing especially around Izmir. |
